Essential Car Maintenance Tips for the Rainy Season

Preparing for Wet Roads

The rainy season brings unique challenges for drivers. Reduced visibility, slippery roads, and potential flooding require special preparation to stay safe on the road.

Tire Inspection

Your tires are the only contact between your car and the road. Ensure they have adequate tread depth – at least 3mm is recommended for wet conditions. Consider all-season or rain-specific tires if you frequently drive in wet weather.

Wiper Blade Replacement

Worn wiper blades can severely reduce visibility in rain. Replace them every 6-12 months or immediately if they streak or skip.

Brake System Check

Braking distances increase significantly on wet roads. Have your brake pads, rotors, and fluid checked before the rainy season begins.

Lighting System

Ensure all lights are functioning properly. Good visibility is crucial in rain and low-light conditions. Clean your headlight lenses if they've become cloudy.

Emergency Kit

Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle including a flashlight, reflective triangles, jumper cables, and basic tools.
